In reply to: A note on donations posted by Zimra on October 31, 2001 at 01:54:28:

I haven't donated anything to the 9-11 disaster because it seems like
everywhere you go there are collections for money for NYC.

Instead I pledged some money to a local radio station that relies
upon community support because it is commercial free.

I think acting locally is much more important.

And I may be stepping on toes here, but I think this "war" is simply
to make rich men feel better since their big buildings got blown up.
Aw, boo hoo. I know that sounds heartless, but really the world
trade center is all about wealth and power. I'm sorry for the people
who got hurt, and I'm sorry for the loved ones families lost, but
nothing seems more removed from my sphere of being than a rich man's
big building in the sky.

The civilian casualty numbers from Afghanistan grow larger everyday;
How is this an accident? Did you know that the food parcels for the
Afghan people look exactly the same as the unexploded cluster bombs
dropped on them? How is this an accident? I think the Taliban are a
bunch of pigs, but I for one am feeling a little inclined to
expatriate at this junction of american history.
